Request Details
The foraging experience I offer to the public is all about being outside, sustainability, education and showing respect to Mother Nature. We walk and talk a lot while identifying wild edibles. I talk a lot about medicinal usage of wild herbs and referring to folklore stories. I don't go out with people to harvest bagfuls of wild plants! It's more like running an outdoor mindfulness session.
I regularly run "Foraging for Mental Wellbeing" sessions, where I entirely focus on attendees' mental wellbeing. We walk at a gentle pace and talk a lot about plants. People always say how relaxed they feel during and after the session.
I would love to be able to offer my service free of charge for my local communities. I would love my "Foraging for mental wellbeing" could be accessible by lots of people, who can clearly benefit from it. I think it's amazing and it's so important to take people outdoors, interest them in nature and rebuild our connection with the natural environment; the connection that somehow has been lost. I truly believe that if people realise that the natural environment is good for them they will be taking care of it better.
